This proves my point though. When not in a place where your valuables are easily monitored, you take certain steps, to ensure they’re not stolen. I don’t know what your dog is capable of, but I’d assume if I came on your property, your dog would alert you of my presence. That in itself is you using a form of security to protect your property and not solely relying on the judicial system. I’m not saying the criminal is less responsible, but if you create a situation of opportunity, you have to expect a predictable outcome. I doubt you leave your keys in your car when in public. The point being, the less situations of opportunity you create, the lower your chances of being a victim are. These are in fact, a responsibility you assume, wether you’re doing it knowingly or not.
